On December 27, 2024, our student information system vendor, PowerSchool, became aware of a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool systems. On January 7, 2025, PowerSchool sent a communication to all their customers about the breach, including steps to determine whether our system was compromised. Following the steps within the PowerSchool notification, our BTCS Technology Department conducted a thorough review of our PowerSchool system security logs and internet traffic and concluded that our firewall was not breached; thus, the data on our PowerSchool instance was not compromised.


Reminder: Tomorrow, January 6, is a flexible learning day. Only students who are pre-registered should attend. All students return to their regular schedules on Tuesday, January 7.

🚀🤖 RoboFlow ENGAGED! 🤖🚀
Check out how our elementary innovators are taking robotics to the next level in the RoboFlow Go! video!🌟 These young innovators are coding, building, and problem-solving like pros.

👾 We’re PROUD of their hard work and can’t wait to see where their robotic skills take them next. Stay tuned, because the future is automated excellence!


As we reported earlier, Tennessee High was placed in a Hold while we investigate a situation. As we continue to investigate, we will maintain a Hold for the duration of the school day. A Hold means that students remain in a secure location and continue with classroom instruction. Students may be allowed to move throughout the building in a closely supervised manner.
Tennessee High will dismiss on a regular schedule. We will share additional information with parents this evening.

Out of an abundance of caution, Tennessee High School is in a Hold while we investigate a situation. All students and staff are safe. We will provide additional information as soon as possible. Please know that the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.

BTCS will host the next Flexible Learning Day for students on Monday, January 6, following Christmas Break. If you would like your child to attend, please register now through December 18. https://www.btcs.org/o/btcs/page/flexible-learning-day

As temperatures begin to drop, it's important to stay informed about potential schedule changes! For example, if there's a two-hour delay, school will start two hours later than usual but will dismiss at the regular time. For schedule change procedures and the best ways to stay informed when winter weather hits, go to www.btcs.org/schedulechanges.
